SCHIELE, Egon: Levitation (The Blind II)

🖼 Levitation (The Blind II), 1915
Oil on canvas
200 × 172 cm
Vienna, Austria

Contorted figures strain upward in angular, skeletal forms against a murky ground, rendered in Schiele's raw, expressionist line. This 1915 work epitomizes Austrian Modernism's psychological intensity, exploring themes of spiritual transcendence and human vulnerability through distorted anatomy.
